Today's build 20090116 still failing.
1. Format the partition with gparted.
2. Load the .iso into a partition.
3. Run the .iso
4. manual partition.
5. Select mount point /
6. Partition already formatted, do not do it again.
7. Screen says following partition to be formatted
     swap
8. Proceeds to progress bar then gets the following message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables,
but cannot do so because partitions on the following
mount points could not be unmounted:

/cdrom

Please close any applications using these mount points.

Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installer will not proceed past this point.
I don't want any changes to the partition table! Previous Alpha
from a couple generations ago has blown partition table on two hard drives,
should not do this.
